Enabling dropping unknown multicast data

Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the IGMP
snooping forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast data, one of the following occurs:

If the function of dropping unknown multicast data is disabled, the switch floods unknown multicast
data in the VLAN to which the data belongs.

If the function of dropping unknown multicast data is enabled, the switch forwards unknown
multicast data to other router ports instead of flooding it in the VLAN. If no other router ports exist,

the switch drops the unknown multicast data.

Configuration guidelines

The drop-unknown and igmp-snooping drop-unknown commands are mutually exclusive. Do not
configure them at the same time.

You can enable dropping unknown multicast data either for the current VLAN in VLAN view or
globally for all VLANs in IGMP-snooping view. If the configurations are made in both VLAN view

and IGMP-snooping view, the configuration made in VLAN view takes priority.
